You can really see the impact in the paint by Chet. Just like the Texas game, there was a lot of hesitation by UCLA about going in the paint which resulted stalled drives and kick outs.

Since it is the giving time of the year, I think Zion ought to donate some of his daily calorie intake to Holgrem. Zion slims down a little, Chet bulks up a little. It would be a win-win for both players.

Freshman Chet makes the Zags even better this year.

Here's what I saw. I saw a Gonzaga team that plays excellence defense, is unselfish, poised, patient, talented, and well coached. Plus they're long, athletic enough to contest everything and their bigs are their best players. Very tough team to beat.

Coach Few always had good Zags teams but this team is scary and definitely deserving number #1 ranking.

Glad to see that Rasir Bolton is having a good start to the season. He was so fun to watch at Iowa State. Glad he’s gone to Gonzaga

I used to watch the Bulldogs play all their home games in The Kennel back when they were the 2nd or 3rd best team in their Conference, WCC, behind Pepperdine, St. Mary's, Loyola Marymount or Portland. I never thought they would become this good. #1 and they dominated #2.

I always come back to this win. I seriously think this is the year

Chet is a beast

Long as this young buck Chet stay healthy Zags goin all the way this year

Chet home-grown is pretty good

The most significant difference in this team from Zag teams of the past is the depth. This is the deepest team I can remember. I think it could really happen this season. Go Zags!

Chet is extremely unselfish player fits perfectly he can feel multiple roles and lets the game come to him a joy to watch his poise is what most impressed me we already knew he possessed every skill to succeed

I had this game predicted all wrong. UCLA brought everyone back from last year and Gonzaga lost 3 major studs in Suggs, Kispert, and Ayayi to the NBA. Johnny Zujhang didn't play like he did in last years matchup, the Bruins were totally out of sink

This might finally be the year the zags get it done

4:17 Oh my.....

Would love to see Zags play Arizona. AZ just demolished #4 Michigan on neutral floor. AZ goes mobile 7'1" and 6'11" starters up front, with 7'0' and 6'10" backups. Michigan could not handle AZ up front. Would be a real test for Holmgren. Not to mention where AZ's current coach hails from ;).

#34 for Gonzaga definitely impressed me. He going to the league for sure with that skill set & height.

1:00 is the nicest swish ever heard

The WCC is legit...Gonzaga...BYU....Saint Marys...San Francisco...Santa Clara...can all play. And everyone should learn how to pronounce Gonzaga...GON...ZAG...GA . Gonzaga Men's Basketball NCAA National Champions 2022. Has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it? Go Zags...Zag Up.

Bro I looked real quick at the thumbnail and thought Tyler Herro got punched in the face

Drew Timme is destined to play for the Spurs. Imagine having another Timme D to play as PF for the team.

The trio of Holmgren, Nembard, and Timme is unstoppable. Gonzaga has been great in the last half decade, and maybe better this year, but hoping to see more All-Star level Gonzaga Bulldog soon other than Sabonis. Right now, it looks like Holmgren could be the one, but there is still some chance for Rui (Japanese votes could factor in) and Suggs to be at least a one time All-Star.

Dude timmy and chet r a great 1,2 punch on the offensive side and chet is a game changer with his length. He is so long.

Reminds me of that movie The Hoosiers. Gonzaga University used to be in the backseat of their own conference, now they can be on the road to the Final Four.

As zags fan of over 25 years i noticed once the zags were up 20 with 8 minutes to go in 1st half Ucla had already conceded giving themselves a reasonable chance off coming back. Ucla chose to slow the game down and then limit transition so zags were content playing slower game. Zags can play any pace you want and still be effective. You notice they were content letting UCLA dribble down low and take contested 2's while guardinging the 3pt line all night and especially juzang. Flash a double team in screen roll everytime with juzang to limit his 3pt shooting. He is basically and iso player so the nba suits him fine. UCLA had the right gameplan but didn't have the depth and rim protection to win once down that many points. Sounds like a team like Purdue would be their greatest threat. Zags have the athleticism to guard the 3 line against anybody. sallis has 6 10' wingspan and all the other guards are decent size. Watson can guard 4 positions on the floor and then you have chet. Even 6 8" kaden perry the freshmen has great hops and can defensive rebound in limited minutes. Final note: good luck trying to trap the zags in the final 6-7 minutes of a game to force turnovers. It won't work this year. If anything they praying someone does that so they then can speed play up again. You can always try strtegically fouling them and see if they miss multiple free throws?

impressive win zags

I guess Gonzaga just can't keep up with the big dogs, right?

How can that Chet fella have such a frame and yet be such a brick wall when setting those weakside screens. Dude is mad fundamentally sound as well 🤦🏾‍♂️

Holy cow.

Chet nice tbt 🔥

can’t wait tell they play duke fri it’s going to be a great game

Good job zags. Riley and the rest of my BRUINS hope to see you in the big dance.

Gonzaga boutta go undefeated, 70-1 over two years

If there's any question who is the real #1, it was settled with this beat down. GO ZAGS!!!!

The Bruins coaching staff didn't have their team ready to play at the start of the game. They got down by 20 early and never recovered, after that they played the rest of the game pretty much even.

The fact that chet goes and blocks that shot over his team mate is crazy id be embarrassed 1.59 thats why i love my zags

Look at chet a future spur

This game looked so promising for the zags… I was there go zags

Zags going to be a handful this year

Why they do them like that 😂

Holmgren is unique

I said it last year and I'll say it again (and probably be wrong again) but there's no reasonable reason Gonzaga can lose.

I think GU deserves to considered #1 or at least top 3 right now. Mostly, because they have their defense dialed in ahead of everyone else’s schedule. That will change over the season. There are a lot of great teams that are a defensive mess right now -UCLA being one of them. Look at what happened to Oregon in the past couple weeks. But we know Oregon is a talented team with a good coach who will have them looking a lot different by the time the tourney comes. But we should remember the GU’s defense will improve over time too. 😳

Where is Adem Bona ? Didn't he select UCLA ?

Been a fan since Adam Morrison (2006)

Great game. They play #5 Duke on Friday. They dominate Duke the way they did UCLA, there is no stopping them.

Holmgren can pass the rock, too!

Looking forward to Duke match up Friday

Where would Gonzaga rank in the PAC12 this season?

The Zags took it UCLA's piece!

GONZ finally has a legit shot, but They MUST get #34 involved in Their Half-Court O when He's posting up. He's strong thro linky. He's a 7"4" Ralph Sampson/Kevin Durant Combo. Future #1 Pick.

Go Bulldogs! Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Stay focused, study hard.

Dickie v voice brings the excitement to college basketball it's a man jammmmm

is the floor slippery or something ?!?! Like why UCLA kept slipping.

SOLID UCLA

I meant the Zags took it to UCLA's piece!

If Holmgren is going to become an ABSOLUTE powerhouse in the NBA or college, he will need to gain some muscle. Maybe he should pull an Antetokounmpo. 235 or 240 of pure muscle would be very beneficial. We will just have to wait and see what comes next over the course of the next few years.

Chet is the type of skinny dude that's very strong and will surprise u lol. He is not the typical soft and skinny guys, KD is the same....bol bol plays like a skinny point guard, chet plays aggressive for his size and that's a problem

Adam Morrison?

Ratatouille guy so good

Juzang stock wasn’t gonna be any higher than it was after last season. I don’t understand why he stayed

GONZAGA BULLDOGS BEATS UCLA BRUINS

Arkansas vs Cincinnati was a better game than this. I expected this one to be real close.

🇲🇽UCLA

Bruh he did an up and down they did not call it 2:54

Lol How is UCla rank number 2?? I could see the Memphis state tigers beating them by double digits too.

Wish he played power 5 conference instead of these early non conference TOP games. BC GONZAGA HAS AN TOURNEY ADVANTAGE… while power 5 schools BEAT ON EACH OTHER AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF SEASON

I mean you aren’t beating a team with 2 five star top 25 players on the bench

imagine Holmgren guarding Shaq or Wilt or Jabbar

gonzaga staying ranked another week.

Thumbnail looks like a goofy Tyler herro

God. I still wish Chet would have signed to Michigan.

Johnny Zujhang hasnt played any good since the NCAA's. Dude had terrible NBA workouts so he returned to UCLA and just has not found his shooting stroke since..

Big Men can shoot 3's t w o.

Ok right now gonzaga is the favorite but until I see it happen in the championship game I'm still skeptical.

anu kaya pagmagkasama c HOLMGREN at WEMBANYAMA sa SAGZ😰🥵😇

Yikes. As a Duke fan all I can say is yikes. I hope this Gonzaga team doesn't show up Friday. Yikes.

Zags play no one they say 😂

Absolutely zero UCLA highlights 😅

#34 - Kevin McHale reborn! He'll be nice in the NBA, put some meat on them bones though - he'll be aight

Wow the refs did a awesome job for Duke tonight was it me or did Duke get every call in the paint Zags couldn't sneeze without getting a foul

first time I see basketball court in America with all advertising above court like Europe, I don't like it, and with double three-point line, disaster, America I don't recognize you

Glad they lost dam bums didn't have cheating reffs time difference wasn't an issue and it was a mutual site unlike the Nova game smh

Jennifer Walters has entered the chat and she is angry. 😡

Campbell is still hellbent on looking like bobo the clown it seems.

he traveled the very first play

Reading the comments reinforces that most casual fans don't watch and understand the game of basketball. UCLA was missing their starting center Cody Riley. They were forced to play his backup extended mins and also had to play their 4th string big against argubably the best frontline in the naton. That isn't gonna cut it. UCLA played poorly, the refs were horrible and it just wasn't their night. No excuses but all of this talk of UCLA being overrated is beyond ridiclous. They beat a top 5 team in Vilanova earlier this season. Gonzaga was trapping UCLA's high pick and roll all night long because the UCLA bigs were no offensive threat. You can't do that with Riley on the floor. Missing him threw off the spacing and the Bruins player began to press and play hurried offensively. UCLA will be fine. They should be a 1 or 2 seed in the tourney and will challenge for a PAC 12 title. I really want a rematch in the tourney with a healthy UCLA sqaud.

UCLA OUTRIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 🔒

Early in the year but it looks like UCLA got exposed

im sorry but Gonzaga needs to be forced to join the pac 12 or something, its a joke they get a bye to the tourney every year and thats prolly why they never win the title because they go 3 months without being challenged. I know they play tough non conference games, does ya no good when they are aLL IN november and december and ya go the tourney without a tough game in 3 months.

Chet "the Bone Cracks" Holmgren is overrated.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

So Gonzaga blew out UCLA but most of the highlights was showing UCLA…..

what game highlights? looks more like zag highlights! Can Vitel shut up?

Duke is going 40-0. BOOK IT!!!!

So players don’t know how to shoot anymore?

This announcers voice is so awful lol

The climate crisis is more important than basketball

Both these teams overrated af
